Hello, Elsietbrown.

I made some research about your problem on Microsoft Outlook 2010. And I tried it on myself and it is very effective. Just follow the steps on setting your file size.

First thing to do is hold the "Windows" key icon and press "R" on the keyboard. And type "regedit" on the "Run" text box and press "Enter" to open your registry editor. Or Alternative way to open registry editor is by clicking "Start" and then type "regedit" on the text box. Press "Enter" to open registry editor.

After opening registry editor, navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftoffice14.0OutlookPST" in the registry. Right-click on the white space and select "New" , then "REG_WORD". After this dialog box will open to create new registry.

In your new registry, type "MaxFileSize" in the dialog window "Name" text box. In the "Value" text box , enter the maximum size for your PST file. And this will change the PST file settings.

Reboot your computer after you made up all steps. Registry settings will not be take effect until the computer reboots.
